    Ed,
    I have customized my menus, although some of them are boring-looking! :D

    I can add a link to that. Maybe I will have that done by the time you get
    this reply.

    Thanks!!!!!

    Mike,

    From what I've read in later messages was the fellow who tried logging
    off the SBBS Web page he hasn't got it to work yet.

    Thanks for the trouble of looking in to putting a Log Off option on CCO.

    Ed,
    I don't think it will work. I did a little experiment. The default setup
    for that ssjs "page" is to take the user back to their stats page. It does
    not do anything to really log them off. Based on my experiment, the only way to really "log off" is to manually close the browser window.

    There are various web apps that, when a user "logs off," it displays a page with a message that tells the user to close their browser in order to fully complete logoff. I am considering creating a page for the logout.ssjs to
    point to that tells the user they must closer their browser to log off.

    From what I can tell, users are never really "logged on" to the web board
    like they would be onto GT. What keeps them "logged on" are cookies or
    some other temporary files that get written by their browser on their end.
    When they close the browser, these temp files are deleted, which "logs the
    user off."

    I would like to set up such a page anyway... I figure it is a way to
    display some of the seasonal ANSI goodbye screens that the old BBS users
    used to see when they logged off a traditional bbs. :D

    Mike,

    Thanks for doing the experiment back in January.

    If "I" "think" of something else to help You waste Your Spare Time, I'll
    pass it along to You. <GRIN>

    I'm still around, but just haven't had the amount of Spare Time to read messages in the QWK Packets I've grabbed off from CCO BBS.

    No waste. Sometimes, it is neat to try something different. GT was more
    easy for me to configure, so it was easier to play with back in the day.
    It has been so long since I used some of those tricks I have difficulty remembering how easy some stuff was.

    Mike,

    I was reading a packet I got on April 11th, 2013 using MM49 DOS and got
    another one of those BLANKS in the Personal Message area.

    I looked at that packet in SLMR and it is this message from You that it
    didn't know anything about.

    When I started MM49 again it didn't even show any messages in the
    SBBSHelp (7) area was in the packet. I even used the L command to List
    All Areas and there wasn't any indication of a message in SBBSHelp (7)
    at all.

    Ain't computers wonderful?

    As you can see I'm using SLMR to write this reply.

    Hope live is enjoyable for you this summer.

    As usual there is no charge for my Technical services.

    BTW, I did get a reply from my email to David at net2ftp.com.
    He said he had some Server troubles.
    I was able to use net2ftp the day after I wrote You about it.
    I haven't tried the other service called AnyClient but couldn't get it
    to work.
    I Registered the other day, thinking my unuse of the site may had caused
    it to drop me, but after registering I never could get any response when
    I tried using AnyClient anymore.

    I may be the problem because I Removed JAVA because of hearing of JAVA
    having problems.
    It may be that AnyClient Needs JAVA, I don't know.

    Are You still using JAVA?

    Thanks.

    Yes, I did notice, and so far it has not been unenjoyable. Big project at
    work has kept me busy.

    That is good to hear. That is a very useful service.

    To be honest, I am not sure! If I am, it is in the form of a linux debian package, and not on my XP box.
